2015-2016 Providence Bruins All-Purpose Thread
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
I think it's great that Senyshyn will join the team, but I'm hoping he doesn't just get a roster spot handed to him. I am not sure he is ready to contribute the way Heinen is. I want to see this team go deep into the playoffs, so that our more NHL ready prospects (Czarnik, Vatrano, Ferlin, Heinen, etc.) get a ton of experience.

FWIW, Divver quoted Cassidy as saying "He'll skate with us for a bit and we'll see where's he at."
Good. I think that is the right mentality. Interesting that the organization hasn't put out this info--tells me they perhaps want to keep this under wraps a bit and not get fan pressure to play the kid at the expense of a vet.

I thought I had read that Providence does not have their ice available to them to start the series so they have to play the first 2 games on the road.

they are on the road- my rep told me sending me my tix and will have by next Saturday for game 3
if they can last long enough and to me they can go far, you can see Heinen and Sensyshyn, Carlo and O'Gara not to mention Ferlin, Acciari, and Vatrano who I think will be on Boston next year
add in Griffith and Koko and Czarnik- loaded team
if Claude was out I think SG and Koko had a shot but doesn't look good
we are talking two likely first or second AHL All-Stars

CBA question: Pasta can't play in the AHL playoffs to my knowledge but why can a JR player, senyshen, for example, who hasn't played any AHL regular season games, play? Thanks,

Righteous bucks!
Julien does go down on Sunday's if the Bs are in town and not playing during the season. I would imagine Sweeney and Julien taking in some games.

From what I understand, Pasta could, the decision was made not to go thru the process to do so which would include sending him to Providence at the trade deadline as a "paper transaction".
Junior and college players don't need to go thru the process of "being added" to AHL rosters at the trade deadline because it obviously can't be done when they are still attached to those teams. When they sign an ATO, it's like an "internship". It doesn't fit to the CBA. The league wants all the development it can get, while avoiding the stacking of teams with guys from the NHL who don't need to be there.

That goalie was in his first pro game. He struggled. Sat behind the net for two periods he was manning it. Let's just say the BPort fans were all over him by the 4th goal.

All first round series are either 2-2-1 or 2-3. As stated before, it's probably a travel issue, although the extra trip only happens if the series goes to 5 games.
The arenas both seem equally available. The Penguins have 4/22 for a comedian, and both teams have 4/28-5/1 roped off for the circus. It could also be an issue of which schedule will get the most rear ends in seats - maybe WBS is a weekday kind of crowd, while Providence is a weekend crowd. The latter must be true, as the P-Bruins basically don't play any home games outside of Fri/Sun except for a few of Saturdays and a rare holiday weekday or the home closer. Maybe the Bruins don't do weekdays well, and/or maybe they do weekends REALLY well.
Fun little wrinkle: If the AHL selects a 2-3 schedule, the top seed actually can choose to give up home ice advantage in return for first-ice advantage.

I hear what you are saying about just "handing" a roster spot to Senyshyn, but what had Carlo, O'Gara, Heinen done to "earn" spots on the roster? It's a common practice for all NHL teams to have their junior prospects get time in on the AHL team after their junior seasons are done.
I trust that the Dev guys and coaching staff will not sacrifice playoff wins just to see a prospect. If they think he's an upgrade over a player in the lineup, he will skate. If he's not, he won't.

I am going Saturday night and if a game 5 Tuesday- I wont be going Monday. I don't have my tix yet but if game 4 (Monday) is designated I will bring to Saturday game and if someone is there wants to use it- they can have it for zilch, just have a good time. They are really good seats.
I'm looking forward to this in a weird way more than the Boston games I go to. Going out to eat before is fun and the Dunk is a good place- Providence is a great hockey town and glad that team won the NCAA and have a strong program.
The people are great even if they talk a bit funny.

you want my Monday tix if I get them by tomorrow or Thursday I can mail you? or leave at will call- I'll call you tomorrow anyways- if you go Saturday let me know we can meet up to eat
lot of potential Bruins on this team - hoping they run this and win it all
Dan I am worried about your diet if Providence makes a Calder Cup run. Not sure you can last 6-7 weeks of Providence dinners
